Burma's Road to Freedom

Mae Sot, Thailand – The verdict has been handed down: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is “guilty” as charged. The scenes in court have been very dramatic. First, the long expected three-year sentence with hard labor was read out. Next, Burma’s home minister read out the order commuting the sentence from Senior General Than Shwe, stating that Aung San Suu Kyi would instead serve an 18-month sentence under house arrest.
